No messages and just birdcages, and these cookies, made with Julia’s Song of Spring Dynamic Duos™ stencil release, are still super special! Here, Julia directly airbrushed some of the cages on the cookies, whereas others were made as separate fondant appliqués. The ingenuity of this approach is that it allows for easy overlapping and layering of elements, which, in turn, leads to a more dimensional look.

Julia’s Kitchen Club

In September 2022, Julia’s Stencil of the Month Club was reincarnated as Julia’s Kitchen Club, and Julia couldn’t be more excited about the change! But why mess with an already excellent thing, you ask? Simply put, the redesign was in response to your requests for more product variety (i.e., cutters to go with Julia’s stencils), more time to experiment with Julia’s stencils, and more tips for using them to create beautiful results. Not ones to take feedback lightly, Julia and her stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils acted quickly to address all of your desires, and more!

Song of Spring Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

With its birds and budding branches, Julia’s February 2020 release, sings out spring! So, naturally, she called it Song of Spring – what else would be more apropos?! Use this design for the first of the season’s garden parties, for spring birthdays, or just to cheer up a nature-loving friend!

Genie Plaque Cookie Cutter

Named after Julia’s dear friend Ginny (owner of Genie Products for Better Baking), this cutter was codesigned by the two in 2019 for one of Ginny’s famous cookie cruises. Though originally created to fit the cruise’s theme (Passage to India), this cutter’s ample decorating space and graceful design make it one of Julia’s go-to cutters to this day. In fact, whenever she uses it in one of her stencil releases, her email goes crazy with questions about where to get it. Fortunately, you’re in the right place!
